| Historical context | These samples were produced by Osborne & Little, part of the Liberty Textiles Group, and are from their Kelmscott Collection. The design has been taken from the embroidered 'Artichoke' panel, designed by William Morris in 1877. It was worked by Mrs Ada Goodman and was originally crewel wool on a cotton twill ground. Reproductions of Morris textile designs have ben taking place since the 1950s, and these are recent examples of this trend. |
